We’re out for a run. I’m hot, I'm cold, I feel fresh, I am getting wet. It feels like four seasons in one day.

I am out on the bike, guiding Sara for her run. Getting some fresh (cold) air is a good moment to look at my takeaways from the Brabantse Kluis Trail.

Out for a run with Sara. My ankle is not feeling totally fine. I think it has partly to do with running more but mostly with me being sloppy with recovery.
